To Apply for a Grant:

The purpose of the Education Foundation of Pendleton is to encourage and support curriculum enrichment, supplemental learning experiences, and other projects which may be deemed necessary and timely for the benefit of students in the Pendleton School District 16R.  Through its work, the Education Foundation will promote public awareness and broaden the support of the community for its public schools.  The Education Foundation does not fund requests for capital items.  Funds for professional development are not a priority but may be considered depending upon whether money is available.
